Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop was booked into the Shawnee County Jail early Tuesday, accused of driving under the influence, attempting to flee or evade a law enforcement officer, speeding and improperly crossing a divided highway.
The Wichita Republican was booked at 3:55 a.m., according to online jail records. A bond amount of $1,000 is listed.
Other details weren't immediately clear. The records don't list the arresting law enforcement agency.
A spokesman for Suellentrop and Senate President Ty Masterson confirmed the Majority Leader had been arrested but could not provide any comment or details Tuesday morning.
Suellentrop has served in the Legislature since 2009 and became the majority leader following the November election.
